The Cold-hearted CEO's Unwanted Bride
Chapter 114: When she married into the Bo Family, wasn’t it just for the money?

Chapter 114: Chapter 114: When she married into the Bo Family, wasn’t it just for the money?

Mrs. Bo’s favorite among her several sons was the third one, Bo Yunci. Her statement not only stifled Bo Yuanshan’s anger but also silenced Bo Yunshen.

Sitting in the dim light, Bo Yunshen remained motionless at the dining table, his eyelids slightly drooping, his gaze seemingly unfocused.

He looked incredibly handsome and elegant, like a perfect sculpture.

Qin Yan glanced over, her eyes flickered, put down her chopsticks, and reached out to grasp Qin Yinyin’s hand, saying,

" Dad, it’s getting late. Yinyin has school tomorrow, I’ll take her back to Xing Yue Bay first."

After Qin Yan finished speaking, Bo Yunshen finally moved, lifting his eyes to look in her direction.

What did Qin Yan mean by that, wanting to leave as soon as she heard he was staying?

Even though he didn’t care much for Qin Yan, her overly cautious attitude towards him still annoyed him!

If there was to be disdain, it should be from him, Bo Yunshen, toward her!

A spark of anger rose in his eyes, and right after Qin Yan finished speaking, Shen Ruyun across from her suddenly spoke up, "Fourth Sister, the company issue hasn’t been resolved yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Jiang Xue was also somewhat anxious.

Bo Group’s market value had shrunk by six billion, not just sixty yuan! The wife-abusing scandal could also be considered Qin Yan’s doing, and without clarifications, how could they let her leave?

However, Qin Yan had leverage over her and Shen Ruyun. Having grown wise, she knew the old man favored Qin Yan, and Jiang Xue’s eyes shifted, no longer blindly speaking ill of Qin Yan:

"Right, the company is in turmoil because of the fake news about you and Fourth Brother. You’ve clarified it for us, but outsiders don’t know."

"Fourth Sister, you work at the company, right? Don’t hurry off, stay and let’s discuss a plan!"

What was a quiet dinner table became noisy again due to this subject.

Qin Yan paused, her body halfway up, and because of Shen Ruyun and Jiang Xue’s remarks, she was neither able to stay nor leave.

Finally, Fang Weiwei opened her mouth to relieve Qin Yan, "Fourth Sister, after all this time, you haven’t eaten much. Take pity on the child, sit down, and eat something."

Qin Yan nodded at Fang Weiwei, sat back down at the table, and helped Yinyin get seated.

Seeing the person staying, Shen Ruyun rolled her eyes, her expression carrying a hint of sarcasm.

She held a newspaper, which she must have taken out from the bag she brought before sitting down, slapped her hand on it, and said,

"Fourth Sister, Yunshen did save you, but now it has turned into a wife-abusing scandal. First, explain yourself, why were you out in the middle of the night instead of staying in the hospital, hailing a cab?"

Because Bo Yunshen didn’t tell her that Yinyin was at Hai Wan Xiang Xie, she hadn’t seen her daughter for a day and a night, thinking Yinyin had got lost again, so she wanted to take a cab to look for Yinyin!

From the corner of her eye, Qin Yan caught a glimpse of Bo Yunshen. From this angle, under his white shirt, a bandage dyed red from a blood donation was visible, even leaving a mark on the shirt.

At that time, Bo Yunshen was just teasing her. If she spoke out, Bo Yuanshan might whip him again!

Qin Yan’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, still unsure of how to phrase her words, when Bo Yuanshan slapped the table, his face cold,

"Discuss how to handle the scandal, not to ask useless questions here, ruining the appetite!"

Bo Yuanshan had just whipped Bo Yunshen in the study, and Shen Ruyun and a few others were listening from outside. As soon as Bo Yunshen’s face fell, Shen Ruyun trembled and fell silent.

Jiang Xue was also scared, but every time she thought of the video in the cheater Chao He’s hands, her body shook even more violently, so she had no choice but to pluck up her courage and continue, saying,

"Dad, don’t you think your words are biased? Aren’t we just thinking about Bo Group? Fourth Sister has been married to Fourth Brother for three years, and this isn’t the first time something like this has happened..."

"One time it’s sixty billion, what if the news continues to ferment or if something like this happens again?"

Bo Yuanshan glared at Jiang Xue, and although she was scared, her voice was just a bit softer, "Third Sister didn’t ask anything wrong, don’t say Third Sister is curious, I am curious too!"

After Jiang Xue finished speaking, her heart pounded violently, and her hand holding the chopsticks stirred chaotically in the food.

Initially, Bo Yunshen was in a severely depressed mood, but upon hearing this, the corners of his lips turned up in a faint smile.

Seeing Qin Yan being troubled made him happy!

When Shen Ruyun saw someone supporting him, he moved the newspaper closer to Mrs. Bo’s hand, clasped her arm, and whispered, "Mom, look at this photo, Qin Yan must have done something excessive, otherwise why would Fourth Brother do such a thing?"

"That time, where would any paparazzi go to such a remote little hospital? It must have been her selling the news to the journalists, trying to make a profit from it!"

"And it’s not like she has no prior history, it’s one thing not to be discreet on normal days, but how many people in Tong City don’t know, wasn’t it just for the money that she married into our family?"

Mrs. Bo looked down, her eyes slightly suspicious as she glanced towards Qin Yan.

Qin Yan’s lips tightened, and her gaze shifted to Bo Yunshen, the origin of that photo was all too clear to him, and if he didn’t explain for her, even if she spoke up herself, it wouldn’t clear things up!

She reached out and pinched the floral tablecloth on the rosewood dining table, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart.

At that moment, why would Bo Yunshen say anything on her behalf? He might as well have watched the joke and added insult to injury.

"The situation was somewhat complicated..."

Before Qin Yan could finish speaking, Jiang Xue interjected with a question, "What kind of complexity? In the dead of night, instead of getting in her own husband’s car, she had to get in a taxi driver’s car, under the dark and windy night, it is one thing for Fourth Sister not to care for herself, but why risk the reputation of Fourth Brother and Bo Family?"

"Second Sister-in-Law seems very familiar with these twists and turns, perhaps you’ve been through a lot of these situations?"

At this, Qin Yan’s eyes darkened instantly, and she stared straight at Jiang Xue, causing Jiang Xue’s heart to pound so hard that she subconsciously tightened her grip on the chopsticks, terrified that she would say something she shouldn’t!

"Enough!"

Bo Yuanshan slammed the table fiercely, causing the plates on it to rattle. He cast a stern look at Jiang Xue and Shen Ruyun and said,

"If you can’t even keep your mouths shut while eating, then go back if you don’t want to eat! Normally you don’t even come for a visit once a year, but as soon as money is involved, everyone shows up!"

"I think each one of you is really problematic!"

Shen Ruyun and Jiang Xue were already feeling guilty, afraid that their words would agitate Qin Yan and lead her to spill their secrets.

Once Bo Yuanshan said that, the two exchanged glances, both reminded of the time Qin Yan and Bo Yuanshan had just spent alone upstairs in the study.

Instantly afraid, neither dared to utter another word!
